Shredder 10
No other chess program has gained as many world championship titles in recent years as Shredder. Shredder 10 is even stronger than all previous versions, showing a drastic increase of performance by approx. 80 Elo points. Shredder has always enjoyed the reputation of an excellent strategist and endgame technician. Shredder 10 ties in with this tradition, now coming with closely packed endgame fi les. Thanks to their high compression, accessing the endgame files is speeded up by the factor 1000. In consequence, Shredder 10 uses the complete perfect endgame knowledge of the “Shredderbases” and at the same calculates much faster.
